Hello, apologies - not quite sure which list to send this to ... I am trying to make a custom distribution for a class. Because the computers use Intel 810E for graphics 4.4-release is not suitable. I have download a 4-stable (no packages) ISO image from ftp://snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ISO-IMAGES/ and this works fine (apart from fact it uses XFree86-3.3.6 and we want XFree86-4). On this newly installed machine I have built and installed around 70 ports/packages including XFree86-4 - all fine. I have tarred off the CDROM to make a snapshot directory where I add packages/All and /packages/INDEX (built from the INDEX in /usr/ports but only including entries that have packages built). I mkisofs all this and burn a new CD. Ok this works fine to a point - it will load linux compatability, can ask it to load XFree86-4 and this works fine. But if I ask it to load all packages about 30% fail to load saying error -1 see debugging screen for details. Also get lots of warning dialogs saying XFree86-3.3.6 is prerequiste. 1. How do you access the debug page? 2. Is it possible to change a config somewhere and use XFree86-4 (and replace XF86336 with XF864?? subdirectory?) 3. Is there a better way to do this? (I can put all prebuilt packages onto a separate CD and just use pkg_add as a fall back) thanks -- tonym To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
